Thanks to a friend who tipped me off, I already have my question picked out for Northampton County Council member Charles Dertinger at tonight's slate belt debate. Don't tell anybody.

"Hey Charles, what the hell were you doing in front of a statewide grand jury in Norristown yesterday? Why'd you bring a lawyer? Can you tell us about it?"

Senior Deputy AG E. Marc Costanzo is conducting a grand jury investigation of Northampton County deceptive campaign practices. Political consultant Tom "Scissorhands" Severson has already been bound over on ALL charges relating to deceptive campaign practices in Northampton County, but the preliminary hearing raised all sorts of questions about the involvement of Dertinger, Lamont McClure and Dem Party Boss Joe Long.

"Charles, Did you ever dance with Severson in the pale moonlight?"Good day!"
